What people said
Nah, that ship's sailed.
There's consignment doujin books, so go check a doujin shop —
you can see whatever you want there.
Back then they probably didn't have swimsuits like today's board-short or skirt styles yet — is that gonna be okay?
Last episode, the 7th month of the lunar calendar was drawing to a close. So in the show, that puts us in late lunar-7th-month of Heisei 11 (1999), which lines up with a range of August 30 – September 9 on the modern calendar.
Of the episodes after #32, the only one that could count as a swimsuit episode is the beach volleyball episode from Heartcatch Precure ep. 35.
Usually that'd be the lead's job, or the fairy's…
She's turned into this high-maintenance woman who won't cooperate unless you feed her ice cream… it's like she's Ankh (the sweets-obsessed character from Kamen Rider OOO).
Well, it's merch-pushing season… starting from the 4th cour it'll probably be all about the brooch anyway.
So THIS is the 'Great King of Terror'?! (a nod to the famous 1999 Nostradamus prophecy)
Lol, if they cleaned up the design a bit this could actually look cool.
① Ruruka's deduction was wrong, or
② Eclair's a candidate for the Great King, but everyone's gonna work together so it doesn't come to that?
Or is there some other answer?… Enlighten me, Goubi (riffing on the old meme line 'tell me, Wufei').
You've gotta watch, feel, and think it through yourself to find the real answer, ya know.
1 → Ruruka's deduction and the legend line up.
2 → The Book of Mirage's prophecy is accurate, and going by what Usonowaru said, Eclair is the Great King — but nobody really understands what the Great King even is.
Honestly it feels like nobody has a solid grasp on the Great King. It seems to just be something passed down as legend among the Phantom fairy clan.
It kind of got swept under the rug with that vague 'it enveloped Ruruka's world~' wrap-up, huh…

Partly because Gouemon's antics had his teammates roasting him nonstop and it was hilarious, and partly because he took the Tear Arcana Rod (the one with the charm) home with him, so people are speculating he'll become 'Cure Gouemon Shadow.'
At this point it's basically the official answer: if they'd kept the transformation in, they wouldn't have had the runtime to tell the story they wanted to.
Nah, this morning's episode was really good so I'm fine with it — it's more like it makes you wonder what a 'main character' even is anymore. Also, is everyone forgetting the whole 'she came from the past' setup?

The Tsutaya at Ebisubashi is closing down in October too, huh.

Why exactly does it have breasts…?
Let's just put it in the 'Pop-Out School' segment as is.
Gouemon Roulette, start!
It's all good! It's all good! (riffing on comedian Ken Shimura's classic catchphrase from his variety show 'Daijoubu Da')
Is there any reason besides simply losing on raw combat power?
Either she still didn't have enough experience as a Precure yet, or she misjudged Usocchi's combat strength.
The first time it was Usocchi + an executive, and at home base it was Usocchi + Decchi — there's no way she was winning that alone lol, though I guess the one she actually fought one-on-one was just Usocchi.
And honestly, even Glittering Eclair could probably corner Armored Usocchi, but finishing her off would be tough — she'd run out of gas before that happened.
Lol. Is that seriously the only dark-fallen form I get?
Also, she said she wanted to protect people even without power, so is it really fine that what she ends up getting is a dark-fallen form?
Hahahaha (´∀`)
Guess Uso-tan's a guy (male) after all, lol
Didn't Age have something wrapped around his arm? Maybe it's like a falconer's glove, so Uso's claws don't dig in?
They slapped an 'AI training prohibited' notice on something like this — that's funnier than the art itself.
Worse than the one posted earlier, lmao.
Dunno where this was originally posted, but if it's on X, I'd bet Grok's already trained on it.
Background and Talking Points
‘Detective Precure! ++Star Detective Precure!++’, produced by Toei Animation, is the newest entry in the Precure series airing Sunday mornings, and this thread is the 75th installment of the live-reaction/impressions threads that pop up right after each broadcast. The claim about hitting ‘#1 on X trends’ raised in the thread was based on a screenshot posted by one user — it remains an unconfirmed mention within 5ch, with no third-party verification available. The idea some fans floated, linking the presence or absence of the transformation sequence to the release timing of new merchandise, reflects fan experience with the Precure franchise’s well-known practice of adjusting production choices around toy rollouts — it is not something the production side has officially confirmed. Meanwhile, the split interpretations around the ending description that ‘it enveloped Ruruka’s world’ stem from the series’ characteristically abstract way of wrapping up its plots, and remains a point viewers still haven’t sorted out among themselves.
